Mjallby and Elfsborg met in an exciting match in allsvenskan. Elfsborg dominated the first half and had good control of the game, but only 1–0 at halftime. In the beginning of the second half, Mjällby combined well and Jeppe Kjaer finished distantly after having created space and made 1–1. Mjällby played without VM-uttagne midfielder Elliot Stroud who left with lumbar strain against Häcken on Sunday. Sirius leads allsvenskan with five points ahead of Hammarby despite one game less played.
